Back of postcard reads: "Miss Lelia Sindlinger, Tuscarawas, Ohio. Dear Lelia - Suppose you thought I would never write, but have so many to write to I forget some of them. Am having a fine time. Haven't started to sew yet. Was out to Silver Lake Sat. night had a fine time. Sun. I was to church had Children Day exercises. They were just fine. A little boy about 3 yrs. old sang "Yes Jesus Loves Me" that was certainly great. Heard your play was June 20th but can't come home for it on account of company in my honor. Will close hoping to hear from you soon. Cora Rausch, 420 Grant St. Akron, Ohio."
